Before lighting up the runways with its lines that are so functional they\u2019re glamorous, the Burberry trench coat served the British armed forces during World War I. Conceived by Mr. Burberry himself in 1901, it was manufactured in gabardine cotton in order to make it lighter and more comfortable. Sewn-in shoulder pads and a belted waist sporting a metallic \u201cD\u201d buckle rounded things off. Ever since, the trench coat\u2019s shape has remained the same. <\/p>\n
Burberry has also been coming up with clothes for kids since 2001. After the trench coat was shown off on Romeo Beckham last season, the brand now seems to have decided to strive for the dreamy world of childhood. Thanks to Burberry, it\u2019s now possible for kids to dress up just like their parents… For Fall\/Winter 2014, the brand is releasing a collection who\u2019s pieces are identical to those from the \u201cbig people\u201d runways. From the printed trench coat to the new heart motif, like a new leopard by way of military inspiration, the brand\u2019s original DNA, Burberry\u2019s most recent successes will all get shrunk down into miniature versions. You can already pick out a knit cashmere sweater with hearts and a military-style jacket in khaki wool.<\/p>\n
Entitled \u201cMini-Me\u201d, it will be available online and in Burberry\u2019s fourteen boutiques for all of the brand\u2019s children, from China to North America. Sometimes big surprises come in small packages!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
